Unique selling points:
- Large number of exercises in modern equipped laboratories
- comprehensive preparation for careers in a wide range of industries
- project-oriented work
- also as an option with in-depth practice in cooperating companies
Your career prospects can be described as excellent thanks to your good education, because your engineering spirit is considered the innovation driver par excellence in everyday industrial life. In the past, our graduates quickly found interesting and challenging jobs, often even at the companies where they wrote their theses. Often they were also able to choose the best from several good offers. The complete practical semester (18 weeks in the 5th semester) is viewed very positively by companies and increases the attractiveness of your applications as a graduate of EAH Jena. The German industry's demand for mechanical engineers will remain significantly higher than the supply of graduates in the future. Therefore, well-trained and committed young engineers like you will continue to have excellent career prospects. You can work in mechanical and vehicle engineering, in the aviation industry and in plant construction. Of course, mechanical engineers also work in the public sector, in engineering offices, in research institutions and in service companies. Your possible fields of activity are in the following areas:
- Research and development
- Manufacturing and assembly
- Quality assurance
- Operation, monitoring and maintenance
- Marketing and customer service
- Human Resources
- Service and consulting

The Bachelor's programme lasts seven semesters and concludes with the writing of the Bachelor's thesis and a colloquium. The study programme is characterised by the acquisition of basic, technical and methodological knowledge. In the first semesters, students receive a solid education in mathematics, physics, materials technology and mechanics, among others, but sufficient space is also given to foreign languages. This is followed by application-oriented knowledge transfer in the core areas of mechanical engineering, such as machine elements, design, production technology and energy technology. In addition, the use of computers is an important element of the training. For example, the PC is used intensively for calculation and design on the screen, for the simulation of complex technical systems, for the control of machines and robots or for carrying out and evaluating measurements. The degree programme includes a complete practical semester (5th semester), which should be completed in an industrial company. The practical semester serves to apply and deepen the knowledge acquired in the study programme in practice. In addition, this time is to be used for further personality profiling and to sharpen the understanding of operational processes and requirements. In the final seventh semester, students write their Bachelor's thesis, demonstrating their ability to solve a challenging technical problem using engineering methods.
From a wide range of compulsory elective modules, you can choose further courses according to your inclinations and career ideas, which allow you to deepen your studies in individual areas. This applies to elective modules such as heat transfer, production automation, lightweight construction materials, machine acoustics, innovation management, etc. The aim is to provide a broad-based Bachelor of Engineering education that will enable you to start your career in many industrial sectors without any problems, such as mechanical and plant engineering, the automotive industry, the aerospace industry or environmental technology. This broad education enables you to react flexibly to changing professional requirements and situations.
Enrolment is in the winter semester.
